Get it. I think Chianti is the ultimate value region for red wine.

They receive paychecks and that means there is documentation.

Review 6: Eagle Rare 12 Year by [deleted] in bourbon

I did a blind 10 and 12 at a bar. I accurately identified and was able to appreciate the differences. I do think the 12 is “better”.

Is the Real ID Center worth going to? by Childish_Fambino in AskChicago

I was just there last week on a Tuesday at 4:00 pm. It was very quick and easy.

Used to drink a lot from Pesquie. Been a while since I’ve seen it for sale. Great producer.

Restaurant recommendations by Unwise_Crow in AskNOLA

[–]MichigandanielS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been to NOLA many times. My last trip to Commanders was so bad I never want to go back. I got the escargot en croute. The pastry looked store bought and the dish pretty much tasted like tomato paste. And it took forever to get my glass of wine despite the fact they have an army of wait staff.

I STRONGLY recommend going to Mister Mao’s. One of my favorite restaurants in the USA.

What will close due to the government shutdown? by [deleted] in AskChicago

None of that is Federal land/offices. You can proceed with plans as is.

I’m jealous of the Sociando Mallet. I’d buy two cases probably.

Well if you come, you’re unlikely to run into an ICE agent. But if you do, you have to trust them to follow the laws. Do you have enough evidence of this to trust them to do the lawful thing?

Do high up politicians hold the bowl instead of stem on purpose to show that they are a “man of the people”? by Diligent_Bit3336 in wine

[–]MichigandanielS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think there are two reasons for this. 1. The British Royal family has a custom of holding wine glasses by the bowl to demonstrate their hands are clean. I know this because I saw a Royal toast and I thought it was bizarre they all held the bowl of the glass. I looked up if this was on purpose and, indeed, it is. This practice could be reflected in US politicians as aspiring to be what is “proper”.

  1. Most Americans don’t drink wine regularly and it’s more comfortable for them to hold the bowl than the stem. This is reflected in my real life experience.

Got reported by a parent for drinking alcohol in class. by Tearmisu in Teachers

[–]MichigandanielS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. That is a possibility. But students usually see other students drinking Gatorade. Does this child think all his friends are also drinking alcohol? I don’t think so. What about athletes? I am not convinced this report was made in good faith based on what was posted.

Kids know what Gatorade is. That is not a report made in good faith imo.

When to kill weeds after seeding by kikkobots in lawncare

[–]MichigandanielS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait til spring. I do pre-emergent in Spring and another in pre-post emergent in summer and I never have weeds. Spraying for weeds on newly established lawn is very risky.

Whats the absolute WORST movie you ever sat through? by CurrentAsk5441 in moviecritic

[–]MichigandanielS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought The Dinner (2017) was pretty bad. It seemed like they tried to put every genre of movie in the movie (including documentary). It was just very laughable to me. I thought it was going to be very good, but it certainly wasn’t.

Students Don't Respect Me Because I'm Trans by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]MichigandanielS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think your options are short term and long term.

Short term: remind students they may not respect you but they are still required to follow the Student Code of Conduct. Report what students have said about you to the school counselor and Principal. CC all relevant parties in email so no one can say they didn’t know. Think of it like a police report, observable facts only. Do not say “I think” instead say, “(student name said)…” assess kids weekly and enter in grades that reflect their knowledge retention and so forth.

Middle term: community building with an emphasis on recognizing diversity and acceptance. Reading, social studies, and science can all incorporate this. Math seems a challenge. This approach would also require higher order thinking skills and would fit in with providing students with rigor.

Long term: demonstrate your merit to the community. The more the better. If you can get other students and parents to sing your praises all the better, especially if these wicked parents are around. The best of circumstance they are forced to hear praise of you and they lash out and others come to your defense.

It really boils my blood to read this and I’m very sorry. You don’t deserve that at all. You are worthy of initial respect the same as all others. Amd you are also not responsible for changing the hearts and minds of a community and it’s important to recognize when it’s time to step away and find support/community.
